Flattering, but no stretch
This dress accentuated my curves, but be warned that the fabric has no stretch! It definitely hugged my hips. The nice thing about a thick fabric, though, was that I didn't feel like I needed a bra.

Cute, spring skirt
The ruffle and pink gingham were playful. The length was nearly to my knees (I'm 5'8"), so work appropriate.

Really fun, unique top!
The faux wrap element was flattering and the mix of prints and solid was fun without being over -the-top. Much to my great surprise, the top was also long enough to cover my butt!

Cute, fun print
At 5'8", maxi dresses can often be too short. This one was the perfect length - less than an inch from touching the ground. Comfortable fit, but no stretch in the material. The print was super cute and fun. Without buttoning the dress all the way down, it did feel like there were a lot of slits, though

I loved these!
I wish the fit had been slightly different because I loved these! They were very high waisted and were super chic. The fabric, though, had no stretch and I found them a little tight through the hips/ thighs - great fit at the waist, though. So, I think I just don't have the right body type for the brand.

For straight figures
The material was thicker than I expected and the cut was definitely not meant for someone with a fuller lower figure. They were hard to pull on & off and weren't loose through the hips

Vegas without being too revealing
This was a fun dress for Vegas! It had a forgiving fit through the mid-section and hit at about mid-thigh. It was sparkly and fun, without being short and skintight. The beading didn't rub my underarms, either, which was a plus!

Added some pizazz to a work day
At first, I felt like the fit was a little tight across the back, but very forgiving everywhere else! Either I got used to it or it stretched over the day because I ended up feeling like it was a good fit. The back wasn't as long as I'd hoped, so not a great combo with leggings, but the asymmetrical hem and tie neck were really fun. A great work or party top.

Not a flattering fit
I found these pants to be surprisingly hot for such a lightweight, flowy fabric. I'd describe myself as slightly pear shaped and I didn't find the fit to be flattering. They weren't as flowy as I'd have hoped and the length made my legs look shorter.

Classy and Sexy!
The ruching on this dress was amaze-balls - camouflaged every problem area! The color was also a really beautiful red. The shoulders stayed put the whole night. I would definitely size up, as it is a very tight fit. I was a little nervous it wouldn't zip, but all ended well! Despite the tight fit, the material is really stretchy so you can eat and drink all you like. Everyone commented on how elegant I looked and a friend even told me that I need to go home and buy the dress.

Beautiful, unexpected hit!
As the stylist at RTR said, the fit in the chest is where you really have to focus, as it's not fitted in the hips at all. I'm always very conscious of looking like I have big hips, but I didn't feel like this accentuated them at all. I did see someone else wearing this and we both said the same thing - very hard to zip up! You won't be able to do it alone and it absolutely won't zip until you hook the inside corset and top hook & eye. My boyfriend was convinced it didn't fit because he was having such a difficult time zipping it up - until he hooked all the inside pieces! Overall, I loved it and I would recommend for anyone! It stays up because of the inside corset and the "sticky" line at the top

Not meant for anyone above 5'6"
Everything about this dress fit how expected, except for the length! I ordered the 8L after reading that anyone above a certain height should order the long and it was still too short. I'm 5'8", so I'm hardly extremely tall! I like floor length dresses to hit the floor and this didn't. Because of that and the slight trumpet style of the skirt, I feel like it made my hips look bigger. I also thought the black design would be a part of the fabric, but it was this odd netted/ lace fabric overlay.
